I like the looks of the LED on the Viper GT 2020. Question is can I just swap out the head light housing it's self (plug and play) and be good or will I need relays for the LED light. Thanks Guys Rob

There was talk about this back in the Viper Section when the Sidewinder first came out. Have you made any searched in that section?
I believe it should be pretty simple since you have the new plastic.
True nice thing is my father in law has a GT Viper with the LED so I have one to compare to. Just haven't had the time yet. I am hoping the plugs are the same. and mounting in the newer plastics are the same. We have not seen them yet lite up at night to compare LED and stock viper headlights. Just out of curiosity how to the HID and LED bulbs compare to the stock LED?
Most say distance wise HID can’t be beat but the LED sure is nice closer.

I have all three, HID (Apex), PIAA LED (14 RT-X), and stock LED (sidewinder). When side by side at night the PIAAs are better hands down. Until you have a chance to compare setups at the same location side by side it will be very hard to judge. As conditions change and the angle of the headlight change an LED setup on your sled may seem very different on the same model sled if not setup correctly. If your suspension is a bit soft your headlight may shine into the tree-tops or if you load your sled with gear the beam angle will change.

Rockmeister HIDs in the stock Viper housing definitely DO shine better than the LED headlights on the Sidewinders.
I see on your signature you have the HID lights from RocToyz. How do you like them?
They are awesome especially with the cable adjuster. That dials them in.
